Delicious Irish Fare

“During my visit, I indulged in the Shamrock Pie and the Irish Chicken Curry, both of which were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The dishes were freshly cooked, and pairing them with some nice Irish beers made for a lovely dining experience.” view full review

Comfortable and Clean

“I stayed in a lovely large room with its own private bathroom. Despite being a bit dated, it was exceptionally clean and quiet, providing a comfortable atmosphere for a good night's sleep. My bed was surprisingly comfy, saying a lot since I often struggle to find good mattresses.” view full review

Surprisingly Comfortable

“I was actually surprised by how comfortable the bed was during my stay. Having a good night's sleep is essential for me, especially given my back issues, and I found the mattress to be much better than what I'd experienced in more expensive hotels.” view full review

Great Pub Atmosphere

“The pub at the Mercantile Hotel had an amazing vibe with live music that created a cute environment. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring, and the combination of good food and tunes made for a nice evening.” view full review
